After a regular five-year term, the Progressive Unity Party and Nikola Tesla dissolved the Chamber of Representatives and the Chamber of Supervisors and a general election was organised for the 22nd of March, 1985. It resulted in the Progressive Unity Party and Nikola Tesla maintaining and improving upon the gains secured in the 1980 Malgravean General Election and securing a continuation of the previous governing arrangement.

As a result the competition of the national census at the start of the year, a decision was reached by the National Electoral Commission and Integrity Office (NECIO) to expand the Chamber of Representatives from 1900 seats to 2200 seats to ensure the continued proportionality of the vote.

Election Issues

Following the signing of the Epping-Rensk Agreement and the end of the civil war, an initial focus of the campaign was on the integration of the territories of the National Workers' Republic of Malgrave and the Socialist Republic of Malgrave. The Progressive Unity Party advocated for the continuation of the work being conducted by the National Committee for Ancestral Reconciliation and Integration of New Territories (NCARINT) which had been established by the government in 1983. Others disagreed, with the Conservative Action Party accusing NCARINT of being too weak while the Green Party accused it of being slow to act and too bogged down by a desire for perfection.

Latterly discussions around the end of isolationism came to to the forefront, with the Green Party advocating for a shortened timeline and a emergence to take place in 1995 as opposed to the planned year of 2000 stipulated in the Epping-Rensk agreement, although, this was a viewpoint that was not shared by other major parties.

The Greens also advocated for a reorganisation of the intelligence services following the conclusion of the civil war, a viewpoint shared by the Technology Party who advocated for the creation of an academic review on the subject with the possible splitting up of the Special Investigative Service.

Campaigns

Progressive Campaign

Following the signing of the Epping-Rensk Agreement and the conclusion of the civil war, the Progressive Unity Party focused their campaign around the popular phrase Ascension on the Horizon underlining the various achievements of the government and comparing it to the stagnation and corruption of the last CAP-led government.

With Tesla remaining in politics the mood in the PUP campaign was extremely optimistic and many polls at the time indicated that citizens believed that ascension was within reach.

Conservative Campaign

In stark contrast to the Progressive Unity Party, the Conservative Action Party ran a more cautious campaign with a stressed importance on strength and courage. A popular phrase, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance was coined during this election and underscored the commitment of the CAP to ensuring that the civil war remained a thing of the past.

The Conservative Action Party also heavily criticised the Progressive Unity Party for giving too many allowances to the Socialist Republic during peace negotiations, and argued for a reorganisation of the economic order in the former socialist territories to promote more free market policies.

Technology Party

The Technology Party started their campaign by focusing on issues around the Integrated Works Computer Network (IWCN), a system designed during the civil war to coordinate the efforts of state-run enterprises and better inform the three-year plan model, as improvement works were proposed in 1982 but delayed indefinitely due to an active dispute with the trade union confederation.

Latterly the Technology Party also called for work to start on the modernisation of the intelligence services, with peacetime being seen as suitable time to start this work.

Green Party

The Green Party continued calls for more proactive work to be undertaken to integrate the territories of the former separatist republics, with green politicians stating that they wished to avoid entrenching an internal divide between the Malgravean people and establish that all within Malgrave are equal.

Greens campaigned heavily around the issue of social solidarity, and the creation of a new peaceful green industrial revolution. With factories previously dedicated to manufacturing weapons now being freed up towards the expansion of new renewable infrastructure and other projects to prepare the country for the end of isolationism.

The Green Party also joined the Technology Party in calling for a modernisation of the intelligence services, although, they also called for an investigation into possible rights abuses conducted by the Special Investigative Service during the war.
